Chestoa View Parking Area & Viewpoint

Scenic spot

👍👍 Stop here! Walk! This is the best turn out we have seen between here and Ashville! Do not do like most people who we saw pull in, turn around, and go out! Just because you don't see the view from the large parking lot with picnic tables, it is worth getting out. Don the paved path is a split in...

Tanbark Ridge Overlook

👍👍 Great sunrise view! Sun breaks over the mountain horizon about 1/2 hour after "sunrise", so go ahead and sleep in that extra 30 mins.

Fryingpan Mountain Lookout Tower

Observation deck

👍👍 What was supposed to be an easy 0.6 mile hike turned into around a 6 mile hike round-trip. There was a road closure so we had to park and walk to the tunnel which was 1.6 miles, then from the tunnel to the gravel road. By time I got to the gravel road I was questioning my life choices and decisions....

Lake Crabtree Observation Tower

Observation deck

👍 Wooden Tower and stairway gives somewhat elevated the view of the lake and shore line. I saw that Google had listed a wheelchair-accessible entrance. That is true in the most literal sense, the doorway has just flat concrete, with no obstruction. However, it leads immediately to a wooden stairway, w...

Maple Springs Observation Deck, Nantahala National Forest, Cheoah Ranger District

Observation deck

👍👍 This observation deck has to have some of the best views of the area by far. Seeing everything in fall color was magnificent. We went around 3:30 on a Sunday and had it to ourselves. The walk to the deck is probably about a 10th of a mile and wheelchair accessible. This view has all the rewarding...

Green Heron Ale House

Bar

👍👍 This place is a hidden little gem! Great selection of beers, friendly staff and it's on the river. You can sit on the covered porch and watch people go down the Dan River or follow the path down to the water and sit on the rocks and sand and dip your feet in while you drink. I'll take this little pl...
